Holograph, signed
Title devised by cataloger
The manuscript is stamped, "PHELPS, MSS."
On the first of a series of letters, Amos A. Phelps writes to the Board of Managers of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society regarding his previous communication about the possibility of his leaving the agency at the end of the year. He says he is willing to stay another year if the Board wishes. A note under the letter states that the Board re-appointed Phelps for one year. After a brief text about the case of Antigua being ́a practical illustration of the truth of the doctrine that it is always wise and safe to do right,́ a copy of letter from Phelps to William Cogswell (written on the same day as the first one) says that the writer is enclosing a resolution to be offered at the upcoming Anti-Slavery convention, and that he would like the recipient either to second the resolution or to offer it at the meeting. Cogswell replies that he intends to leave the city before the convention
